Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 10 February 2026
736. Deputy Niamh Smyth asked the Minister for Social Protection if the case of a person can be reviewed (details supplied); if he will provide an update on the matter; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [9234/26]
View answerInvalidity Pension (IP) is a payment for people who are permanently incapable of work because of illness or incapacity and for no other reason and who satisfy the pay related social insurance (PRSI) contribution conditions.
The person concerned has been awarded IP with effect from 27 November 2025 and will receive their first payment to their nominated bank account on 19 February 2026. Any arrears due for the period 27 November 2025 to 18 February 2026 will issue shortly after their first payment date. The person concerned was notified of this decision on 3 February 2026.
I hope this clarifies the position for the Deputy.
